First Nets and now 76ers. NBA becomes unpredictable once again. Hawks will play against Bucks. Giannis versus Trae Young.
Trae is confident with every shot he made while the 76ers cannot find their offense. There's just one thing the Hawks have to do, put pressure with Seth and Embiid. Harris was not helpful at the last minutes of the game like there's a lid at the top of the rim. 76ers should do something about their big weakness if they are keeping him, Ben Simmons.
Danny Green's lucky charm is not working anymore.  Grin
Absolutely, in my opinion, that's the one of the most unpredictable seasons in the NBA.
I would have never imagined that the Nets and Lakers would be eliminated in the playoffs quickly and they were favorites to win this season
Another detail was the numerous injuries during this season, which made the NBA even more unpredictable.


No one thought of that, but because of the injury suffered by Davis and Lebron is not 100% healthy, then it's already predicted that they might lose in the first half. It's only unpredictable if they are all healthy and yet they lose in the same passion the Suns did to them.

If every player will be safe until the end of this season, maybe it will be the Suns who will take the throne.
Booker is in his prime and he gained a lot of confidence thanks to Chris Paul who has been a great effective veteran to teach the young Suns.
With Ayton also gaining experience he is becoming a big threat under the rim. The Clippers can't just leave him there because I'm sure he will get more offensive rebounds or others will if he can position a good box.
I think that is why Booker had a triple-double thanks to Ayton's success in boxing out.

I would not overreact though, this is just one game, if you know Ty Lue's plan, you would not be confident that the Suns will win. I read somewhere that the plan of Ty Lue is very obvious, here's the pattern.

Vs Dallas - loss first 2 games, won the series.
vs Jazz - loss first 2 games, and won the series.

Yeah, it's really hard to understand how the 76ers lost this series against the Hawks. 76ers wasn't able to adjust against Trae Young, or simply put they can't stop them. I would say they choke, remember the game when they have a good 26 points lead and lost, just say how poor this team are when face with pressures. Simmons lost his confidence when he started to have a bad slump on free throws, becomes a liability in close game because Hawks are going to just foul him.

It might be time to let go of Simmons and trade him. Danny Green was injured so this series should not be counted on his "lucky charm".  Grin

Danny Green  Roll Eyes  Oh well seems Simmons is no longer listening with the fans,
he didn't adjust not sure if what happened to him his numbers in terms of scoring is not that good.

I agree if Sixers still wants him they need to work with his FT but I don't buy that, if he really have that star
quality attitude he will keeps on attacking. He's  good doing that from the regular seasons, seems weird it's the ECF semis and he's numbers declined.

Very Well, Young got all the help he needed towering the  hawks, Gallinari for me is the one who lift them in the last dying minutes. Congrats!
Ben seems don't want to take a shot, even when it's wide open, looks like he doesn't want to play, the first time I watch the game between these two teams, and the first I saw that's not in his usual self is ben Simmons, imagine you are wide open underneath the basket with a crucial point and what you did is pass the ball to guarded teammates, so something is not right, is it the coach or he's not in the mood.

What a game, Paul George and Booker exchanging shots, but booker continue scoring and making plays for his teammates, Ayton dominates the paint area, this will be hard for the clippers since Leonard is injured, I think the suns have the edge to make it to the finals, but if Mann will play the like the game 7 with the jazz, this will be exciting.

I wouldn't say that the Suns have an advantage, considering that the Clippers have already proven they can win without Leonard. Regarding Paul, there aren't new updates about his current condition. So we can only assume that he will be able to play in game 3 or 4 of WCF.
Hmmm, that's true. I think, I expressed myself badly, but anyway I believe the Clippers were weaker without Kawhi Leonard.
I think if the Suns can "annul" PG, it will be another "advantage" for the Suns, and I hope CP3 come back to Game 3 or 4.

In WCF Game 1 we saw, Booker was on fire and wants to be champion.
About Clippers, PG played as expected, DeMarcus Cousins scored 11 points and played "only" 13 minutes.
I think this WCF will be interesting!!

Today we will have game 7 of 76ers vs Hawks!
Who do you think will win?

Are we going to see an OT here?

The score is 114-116. Suns will take the position and it's gonna be a foul game if the Clippers can't steal the ball.
Hopefully, there's an OT so it will be more fun.

Edit: no OT. sorry clippers fans.

Everyone said everything that can be said about the game, it was an insanely good game to watch, however I would like to point out that Durant was phenomenal this series, dude really deserves credit. I dislike him a lot because of the warriors move he did years ago, that was a very cheap move and he definitely deserved our hate, they won free rings basically thanks to him, and because of him Curry doesn't even own a single FMVP which he deserved a lot.

However even though I dislike him, I have to say dude carried the team all by himself, played full games without ever getting benched, played without his superstar buddies, basically he was the reason there was even a game seven.

We would have a different sentiment if the Nets have won the game and they'll advance in the ECF. Unfortunately, the injuries have been killing them, Harden is basically not 100% and Irving who is a great PG has not played due to an injury he sustained in that series. However, I still admire what they showed this season, they played hard and therefore they deserve all the credits.

It looks like all the people who have voted are Clippers supporters in the conference finals.  Grin  And I'm also one of them. The first game has already started and it is in Phoenix. Kawhi's absence will affect Clippers of course but I still believe that they have the potential to win the WCF.

Oh glad I came here, the game is so early unlike usual. this is the western final conference and game one is so crucial, I wonder why they didn't let Leonard play. are they doing some sort of experiment again or they trust the other players for this one. I hope Paul George will do his miracle again to win this one without Kawhi. Looks like the game is close and both teams don't give each other an easy game.

The score is 54-57 at the end of the first half that's how intense the game today.

Yeah, it's a battle of spurts, Clippers takes a lead early and then Phoenix storms back with Ayton and Cameron Payne doing some Chris Paul like assists. Surprise to see Cousins scoring 11 points in 8 minutes of play and hitting 3's too.

Difficult to see who's going to win, unless Phoenix came out of the block in the 3rd quarter and take a big lead. At least we fans at treated at another exciting opening match.

They certainly have a chance, they'll take this as once in a lifetime opportunity as it's their first time to be in the WCF and they will surely want to extend this success to the NBA finals. The first half is already over and PG13 is still outstanding with already 17 points contributed for his team.

We all like to see a close game.  Smiley

I voted for the Clippers to win the WCF. It seems that they just peaked in time, although they have been consistent in the regular games, but in the playoffs, they are always down and do the catch up. But since they have overcome a 0-2 deficit against the Mavs and and the top seed Utah, they have blended in time so even with Kawhi, they can win against the Phoenix Suns in their series. It's a close first quarter though, currently tied at 21 a piece.

I'm one of the ten people who voted for the Nets when Irving was still playing. I didn't think it would be easy wins over the Bucks but it surely made it tough for the Nets with him out injured.

I voted Clippers for the Western conference finals. There are more guys stepping up with Kahwi's absence and that's a plus. Suns will have difficulty stopping PG, Jackson, Morris, and Mann. Clippers are better in defense than Suns I think.
